"My daughters' treatment for glandular fever and tonsillitis"

About: North Down Community Services / GP Out of Hours The Ulster Hospital / Craig Ward (Paediatrics) The Ulster Hospital / Emergency Department

(as a parent/guardian),

After admission to the A&E depart, my daughter was in a lot of pain at the time and extremely distressed. She was quickly assessed in triage and called into cubicles where she was allowed to remain in a quiet, safe environment. This was very important to us as my daughter is only 16 and still very vulnerable. 

On admission to the ward we were delighted to be put in a private side room and able to remain with my daughter at all times. We were acknowledged by the staff and kept fed and watered throughout. 

The degree of care and compassion extended to my daughter and my family by both the nursing and auxiliary staff was second to none. 

My daughter was treated with exceptional care and consideration by all members of staff from receptionists, porters, to specialists we are very grateful.

Hi Roisin917

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback following you and your daughters hospital admission. It is good to hear that at a difficult time you both experienced care and compassion from the staff. ED is a busy, overcrowded department and providing a quiet area can be challenging so it is good to hear that we were able to achieve this.

I will share your lovely comments with the team who will greatly appreciate them.

I hope your daughter is improving and recovering from her illness.

Best Wishes

Jenny

ED Lead Nurse
